Homosexuality: Should culture be a basis for law?

On March 1, Speaker of Parliament Edward Ssekandi was presented with a petition bearing the signatures of 450,000 people calling for the rejection of the Anti Homosexuality Bill, 2009. The petition was written, and undersigned, by a group referring to themselves as AIDS service providers, spiritual mentors and counsellors. In the wake of the petition’s presentation, The Independent investigates perspectives on homosexuality and the Bill.

David Bahati, author of the controversial bill, says approaches to it reflect people’s attitudes to homosexuality. But for others, the debate over the Anti-Homosexuality Bill and the criminalisation of homosexuality are not so clear cut.
